Me I like to travel but I like to come home, too. Tailor your travel style to what fits for you- there are unlimited options for traveling in this world.

Shu's got it right. Mexico offers so much diversity ... most know nothing about.
Even if just a month, you can see a lot and not rush. 4 to 6 weeks even better.
Beaches, mountains, jungle, Deserts, Ruins, big cities and middle of now where. You will get sick of Tacos. (pronounced TAAco ... not TACKo)
As mentioned above, India is another possibility. I missed out going on a trip with friends to India. They flew in, bought Enfields and spent 6 weeks riding all over India's high mountains. Sold off bikes, flew home.
I've done short trips in Thailand (twice) and Cambodia. I had work there so company paid air fare ... but I did not have much time, so took a few weeks touring round on rental 125's ... fantastic. Trust me, you won't run out of road.
Also, if you think you've seen all there is to see of the USA ... we'll, I'm betting you ain't seen half the good stuff. Takes years. Short adventures are all many of us can manage. Go for it!
